A 23-year-old American called David Benavidez lost his world title on the scales after weighing in heavy for his Saturday fight on Showtime.
However, Benavidez, a heavy-hitting super middleweight, maintained his unbeaten run as a pro boxer as he brutalized his opponent Alexis Angulo in the headline bout on the Premier Boxing Champions card.
Also on the card, Rolando Romero controversially defeated Jackson Marinez and Otto Wallin took advantage of an injured opponent to claim a technical win.
Watch highlights from each fight below.

The 23-year-old seemed to land his left hook at will, and before he had a chance to throw one more in the 11th, Angulo's corner retired their fighter at the end of the 10th.
